    That’s basically how an internal combustion engine works, but the gasoline has to be a fine mist and mixed appropriately with oxygen. That creates a lot of heat really fast which creates a lot of pressure if it is in a confined space. But that’s what the others are saying on this thread. Without those ideal conditions coming together, it just makes things burn faster but no real explosion.
